Well in the UK they are unlikely to be chased up so why should they worry?

From where I'm standing it's not so certain, especially how fiercefully you were fighting for that topic to be able to strip us out of laws. Albeit difficult to make my life miserable now.

Young healthy Europeans to leave the UK in exchange for non-working OAPs in need of health care. £350 million a week ought to cover it.

How long before you fall into that category?

Might not stop them arriving, but will stop the NHS having to pay for their non-emergency treatment
